The Temple

“Whenever I look around, I always learn something. And that is to always be yourself, and to express yourself, to have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it, but start from the very root of your being which is: how can I be me?” - Bruce Lee

Welcome to The Temple, where we meet our four Kung Fu Clans: North (Black), South (Red), East (Green), and West (White). Each of the clans reside deep in the forest cultivating their unique style through meditation and breathing exercises. Word gets out of a mystery clan leader that has a timely and significant message to share. Each of the clan leaders journey through their tree ancestors to uncover this spiritual word and find themselves filled with an ungodly strength.

In this piece, we explore the shared value in Hip-Hop Dance and Martial Arts of building foundation and roots to ultimately express yourself. Through the power of individuality, we harness the power of collectivity; resonating our energy of positivity and centeredness throughout our world.
